PC doesn't get discovered in HA but MQTT picks it up + no notify.your-pc service
Posting these as one support thread in case they're related.
I'm not getting a HASS.Agent integration pop up with the device discovered, but it still appears under my list of devices for MQTT. I've added the github repo for media/notfications.
I'm picking up the sensors I want and I can send the test notification from the App (except GPU Temps which says Unavailable) but there's no notify service.

How did you install integration?
What versions are U running? Windows, hass.agent, integration
Windows 10 version 22H2
HASS.Agent most recent version (can't find the version number on the app)
Same for the integration
I installed the integration by going to HACS and then Integrations > Custom Github Repository > pasted the link provided
I've restarted HA too
I'm running HA Container, not sure if that makes a difference
Is there anything in HA logs?
The best way we know to fix this is restarting both, and then reinstalling integration. Problem is that I want to fix this, but I have never experienced the issue, can't fix it without information. So if you find anything in the logs that would be helpful 😁
logs are only showing stuff related to my UI looks like
i was gonna send it but it's huge, just a bunch of deprecation warnings
the only Errors are from Minimalist
i dont think these are relevant either
i've tried a fresh install and restarted the server too
still not being picked up?
maybe try deleting the topics in mqttexplorer and restarting hass.agent to get them re-added'
Uh sure I can try that just need to figure out how 😅
Sry, you'll need mqttexplorer
It's an app U can download, very helpful for debugging all mqtt home automation apps
gotcha ill give it a go today when i'm home. thanks!
so i've remoted into my PC, do i delete subtopics here? under hass.agent?
Yep
The ones that most likely matter more are under homeassistant tho
right, there's 77 under home assistant 😅
this keeps flashing, not sure if that is an indication of something
so I found the ones under homeassistant and cleared them then restarted HASS.Agent, still no device discovery on Home Assistant except it appearing under MQTT like before
I haven't yet had the time to dig deeper, but I'm having the same problem.
Installed the latest beta4 for admin - user account installation support.
The sensor data is picked up by mqtt and I can tirgger commands. But the notification service and media player are not there.
it flashes everytime it is changed(new sensor update from hass.agent)
seeing as their is 2 cases in similar timeframes ill have a closer look tonight, might be a new bug
So mine will detect in home assistant, but no notifications or media player. lastest version of the pc app and the Hacs integration
same here, are you using MQTT or a local API?
I'm a bit confused, do I need to have local API also configured even though I'm using MQTT?
okay it worked using the local API
are you using the forked integration (https://github.com/hass-agent/HASS.Agent-Integration) or the one available by default on HACS?

I also have this problem, but it is only on half my PCs... I am currently using the latest forked integration and the latest client that just was released. Everything works as expected except that I have no actions for notify and no media_player. In fact, I don't even see the PC in the HASS.Agent integration for half my devices, which the other half perform fine. I really don't want to delete the devices (much less the entire integration) so I have tried enabling and disabling notify and media in every combination, renaming the device to force a config update to HA, etc, but nothing makes the missing devices register in the HASS.Agent integration. MQTT is fine and all sensors and commands work great, but I am particually missing the ability to fire the notifications and do not want to use the local API so I can keep all connections from the client to server and not have to maintain the vice versa. Anyone have a suggestion, even if editing raw config files or something, to see if I can force a re-register of the notify action in particular?
Ok, so apparently I restarted HA at various times, but it looks like I DID NOT reboot after updating the clients in question to the very latest 2.1.0. I definitely did not do anything with the integration side of it - I simply installed the update on the clients having the problem, and when I restarted HA a few hours later for a different purpose, I went to the integrations page and all 3x of the clients previously working with sensors, commands, etc. through MQTT, but there was no notify, nor media_player, items created suddenly were auto-discovered and I set them up immediately. No reinstall of client, no reconfiguring, so it looks like the developers took care of correcting the issue on their side. Just FYI - hopefully everyone else sees this behavior as well and I didn't do some magical mystical combination that I'm not aware to get it working!
